Your load is out of balance.
If you have a heavy item, spread it around the tub to balance the load.
It is normal for the tub to shake during the spin cycle. The washer has a safety feature, if it is too badly out of balance it will shut itself down and sound an alarm.
have you leveled the machine by its legs and locked them in place with the jamb nuts between the case and legs? if so then it could be your drum bearings going bad on the inner drum
1=WASHER MUST BE ON SOLID FLOOR,IF YOU CAN FELL IT SHAKING 2FT OR MORE BACK FROM YOU,YOU HAVE A WEAK FLOOR. 2=BALANCING RING BAD,REPLACE .. 3=MAKE SURE THE TUB IS NOT LOOSE THANKS LACUZ12
I had a shakey washer that I bought open box from "circuit city", it was a return.
I was to lazy to learn why the washer would shake and a technician told me to manually balance the wash load in the drum.
Later, I got into the washer and lubed up the rotating shafts and rockers. The washer lost all its shakes with the mechanics properly lubed. From the factory the mechanics were never properly lubed.
Tight mechanics that are supposed balance the spin cycle by moving could be part of what is getting warm. The belt spinning the washer also takes a beating when the drum shakes.
Get a good discount on your washer first, and then lube the mechanics. Everything about the washer is meant to work. If the mechanics are too tight you'll have shaking.

The shock absorbers that hold the tank are broken. Then the load will move the washer all over the place.
Look online for an exploded diagram and order the new shocks for it
Washers have to be balanced. Some have balance adjusters either inside the dryer as explianed above or on the bottom to level the washer. try to balance it by turning the bolts slightly or the bottom portion of the washer to level it. Or else they want to shake apart. Also by distributing the clothes evenly so it won';t be all to one side can help. do not tighten the screws all the way. Just tighten them to the point of getting the right balance.
there is a spring that hooks to the back the tub of the washer and conects to the frame of the washer its there as a counter balance. if that spring was not put back in place the washer will shake like crazy. if that spring is conected the basket is warped
